The NFL is bringing the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots to Munich for one of the most anticipated international games of the 2026 season. The matchup at the Allianz Arena is scheduled for Sunday, as part of Week 10.
The game is already generating plenty of excitement in Germany, where NFL interest has continued to grow since the league began staging regular-season matchups in Munich.
The previous two games at the Allianz Arena attracted 69,811 fans in 2022 and 70,132 in 2024, setting a strong benchmark for this year’s meeting. Tickets for the 2026 game, which is scheduled to kick off at 9:30 AM ET, are sold out.

The stadium, which is the home of Bayern Munich, has a larger capacity for domestic soccer matches, reaching 75,024 seats when standing areas are included. However, international events operate under different seating arrangements, with standing areas excluded and the capacity reduced to 70,000.
This will be the third NFL regular-season game played at the Allianz Arena. The first took place on November 13, 2022, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 21-16 in front of 69,811 fans.
In 2024, the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers attracted an even larger crowd, with 70,132 spectators attending their matchup.
The 2026 edition is particularly significant for Detroit, as it marks the franchise’s first international game since 2015 and its first appearance in Germany. The Lions will serve as the designated home team.
